In 1877, Kate Edger became the first woman to graduate from a New Zealand university. The New Zealand Herald enthusiastically hailed her achievement as ' the first rays of the rising sun of female intellectual advancement' . Edger went on to become a pioneer of women' s education in New Zealand. She also worked tirelessly to mitigate violence against women and children and to fortify their rights through progressive legislation. She campaigned for women' s suffrage and played a prominent role in the Women' s Christian Temperance Union and in Wellington' s Society for the Protection of Womenand Children. Later in life she advocated international diplomacy and co-operation through her work for the League of Nations Union. Diana Morrow tells the story of this remarkable New Zealand woman' s life and, in the process, provides valuable insights into the role of women social reformers in our history and Edger' s place within a distinctive strand of nineteenth-century Christian feminism.
